Have you seen thread 9386 ?

There you can find a response from Harold, who seems to be VERY HAPPY with the screen of his new TSU2000 (compared to his old TS1000).
Maybe Philips is using a better screen with the TSU2000 model ?
Can someone else make a comparison, please ?
Daniel, you should also have both models - can you help ?

How's it going fellas? I was unaware of how terribly dim the LCD of my pronto TS1000 was, until I recently purchased the TSU2000. The TSU2000s' LCD is by far sharper and crisper. The black and grey colors are more refined, than that of the TS1000. I initially thought that the rechargeable batteries did not have enough juice(amps) to power the LCD of the TS1000. So, I swapped the batteries(the included akline)from TS2000 with the rechargeable, just to see if it would have the same dim effect. Fortunately, the TSU2000 stood sharp and crisp, I then concluded that the LCD of the latter model TS1000 were probably that of a lower grade. GET THE TSU2000 !!!
